BlogEngine.NET, http://www.dotnetblogengine.com/en-USIncluding a graph in your resume<p>
Most job seekers think that a resume should be formatted a certain way and they certainly wouldn&#39;t imagine putting a graph in their resume. However, there are fields and positions, where you can actually place a graph to emphasize your results.
</p>
<p>
Indeed in fields such as finance, sales, executives and sometime even IT or engineering, it might be a good idea to put a graph to show how you were able to increase whatever statistic matters (sales, Gross income, efficiency, etc ...). If you feel that this might be a good option for you, make sure to research that it is indeed accepted in your area - for example, if you want to spice up your <a href="/finance-resume-writing.aspx">finance resume</a> ask some HR specialist or co-workers if this can be done and look for examples to see how and where you can place a graph
</p>
<p>
&nbsp;Also, avoid doing this if you&#39;re in an entry-level position as it is more appropriate if you&#39;re at least at mid-career or in a high-level position.

To add to the confusion about these job-seeking tools, many people use these terms interchangeably. In fact in most countries out side the USA The CV is the tool most commonly used. <p>What are the differences? <p><b>The Resume</b> <p>A resume is an overview of your relevant work experience, skills, education, and any other information related to the targeted job, such as volunteer work or professional memberships. There are three primary types of resumes: functional, chronological, and combination. A functional resume highlights skills, abilities, and education rather than work history. A true functional-style resume does not list employment dates. A chronological resume highlights employment (or volunteer work) shown in reverse-chronological format; that is, the most recent employment is listed first. A combination-style resume combines elements of the functional and chronological styles. Most resumes are one or two pages long. <p>For most job applications, a combination style resume is the best choice many applicants, including college students and new graduates. Even though work history on a graduate resume may not be as extensive as for that of a seasoned employee, a chronological work history can demonstrate transferable skills and dependability. A purely functional style resume would not provide this advantage, and yet a purely chronological style would not allow for additional information highlighting relevant skills or other information. <p><b>The Curriculum Vita</b> <p>A CV is a more detailed listing of information used by applicants in select fields, such as the medical and education industries. The format of a CV is sometimes similar to that of a resume, but it is typically a straightforward listing of information. A CV includes information such as employment, education, and publications in a reverse-chronological order. It is often used by those seeking advanced positions in the medical and teaching professions. For example, someone applying for a university teaching position would list his or her education, classes taught, and any relevant publications. CVs can be much longer than a traditional resume. <p>A CV may also be required for those applying to graduate school, although again, a CV is typically used for specific fields, such as research or teaching. However, if you are applying for a position in a foreign country, you may need a CV. A professional resume writer can help you determine whether you should use a resume or a CV for these types of positions. <p><b>Which Do I Need?</b> <p>For most new graduates and college students, a resume is the best option to use for job application purposes. There is a bit more room for creativity (in styling, not false information!) with a resume. Additionally, resumes are traditionally what hiring managers expect to see unless specifically noted otherwise. <p>&nbsp; <p>&nbsp; <p>&nbsp; <p>Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume" rel="tag">resume</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resumes" rel="tag">resumes</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writing" rel="tag">resume writing</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cv" rel="tag">cv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/currriculum vitae" rel="tag">currriculum vitae</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/writing a cv" rel="tag">writing a cv</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/writing a resume" rel="tag">writing a resume</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writing service" rel="tag">resume writing service</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writing services" rel="tag">resume writing services</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/professional resume writing" rel="tag">professional resume writing</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/professional resume writer" rel="tag">professional resume writer</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/professional resume writers" rel="tag">professional resume writers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cv writers" rel="tag">cv writers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/professional CV writing service" rel="tag">professional CV writing service</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/" rel="tag"></a></p>http://www.resume.info/newsletter/post/Do-I-Need-a-Resume-or-CV.aspx

The most common reason people don’t get the jobs they want is because <em>they don’t apply</em>. Whether they doubt themselves, don’t have the time many people cut themselves from the running by not applying to jobs that they are more than qualified for. <p>Once you’ve gotten past the self-doubt and uncertainty, and are embarking on the <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">resume writing</a> process, you simply need to approach resume writing with an open, informed mind, and be willing to invest the time and effort to conquer <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">resume</a> writing. Do this well, and you’ll be on your way to career success in no time. <p>It doesn’t matter what level you’re at in a career; not having a <strong><em>unique, polished masterpiece of a resume</em></strong> almost guarantees failure in your job search. If 100 people apply for a job, and every resume looks the same, the employer won’t be impressed by any of them!&nbsp;But, if one person takes the time to make their resume stand out from the rest, they’ll&nbsp; be the one that stands out in the mind of the employer.&nbsp; <p><strong>How do I make my resume stand out when I don’t know what others are doing?</strong> <p>You can’t know how others are approaching their &nbsp;<a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">resume writing</a>, but you can do everything in your power to make yours a stand out.&nbsp; <p>First: avoid grammatical errors and misspellings...use simple formatting with easy to read fonts and adequate spacing. <p>Once you’ve handled the basics, then it’s time to focus in on other elements that will make your resume writing a success. <p>For example, <strong>focus on keywords</strong> in the job announcements and use them in your resume writing. You’ll catch the attention of the reader that way. <p>It doesn’t matter what type of resume you’re creating. You have got to&nbsp; provide a &nbsp;unique, <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">polished resume</a> that stands out from the crowd !&nbsp; <p>&nbsp; <p>&nbsp; <p>Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume" rel="tag">resume</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resumes" rel="tag">resumes</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writing" rel="tag">resume writing</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writers" rel="tag">resume writers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/employment" rel="tag">employment</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/job" rel="tag">job</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/job" rel="tag">job</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/work" rel="tag">work</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writers" rel="tag">resume writers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/write a resume" rel="tag">write a resume</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume objective" rel="tag">resume objective</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/,cover letter" rel="tag">,cover letter</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume tips" rel="tag">resume tips</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume wdvice" rel="tag">resume wdvice</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/executive resume" rel="tag">executive resume</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/executive resumes" rel="tag">executive resumes</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/professional resume" rel="tag">professional resume</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/prfessional resumes" rel="tag">prfessional resumes</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/professional resume writing" rel="tag">professional resume writing</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/professional resume writer" rel="tag">professional resume writer</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/professional resume writers" rel="tag">professional resume writers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/career" rel="tag">career</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/careers" rel="tag">careers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/" rel="tag"></a></p>http://www.resume.info/newsletter/post/The-Important-Elements-of-Resume-Writing.aspx

When a Federal job opening is posted, they may require applicants to submit a narrative statement known as a <a href="http://www.federal-resume.org/ksa-ksawriting.aspx">KSA</a> in addition to, or in lieu of, a traditional resume. KSA stands for knowledge, skills, and abilities, and should be written in a personal, yet professional demeanor to convey your particular knowledge, skills and abilities to the person(s) who receive your application. There are four basic steps to creating the <a href="http://www.federal-resume.org/ksa-ksawriting.aspx">perfect KSA</a>: <p><u>Step One: Review Job Opening</u> <p>Read the KSA announcement carefully. Be sure to pay attention to any details, although vacancy announcements are usually very generalized. Make sure that you understand the listing before you begin writing your response; otherwise you will not be able to provide the proper information to the employer. <p><u>Step Two: Brainstorming</u> <p>This is the part where you come up with your abilities that relate to the listing. Writing an effective KSA response requires that you relate ANY and ALL experience that you have in relation to the position you seek. . Don’t limit yourself to your work history here; as long as it’s relevant, the experience doesn’t have to be work related. For example, if <a href="http://www.federal-resume.org/ksa-ksawriting.aspx">the KSA</a> announcement calls for management skills, it doesn’t matter if you worked as a manager previously or if you simply were in charge of your youth group at church. Both experiences are relevant and should be listed. <p><u>Step Three: Break it Down</u> <p>Now that you have a list of all of your abilities, you need to analyze them and reflect on how they are/were used in your job(s).&nbsp; In answering these questions, you simply need to focus on who, what, where, when, why, and how of these elements to come up with the answers you need. These answers will eventually become your very own KSA. <p><u>Step Four: </u><a href="http://www.federal-resume.org/ksa-ksawriting.aspx">Writing the KSA</a> <p>When you finally write your KSA, you need to be very clear and direct. You need to demonstrate,&nbsp;that your&nbsp;skills, abilities, and knowledge&nbsp; relate to the vacancy announcement. <a href="http://www.federal-resume.org/ksa-ksawriting.aspx">KSA</a>&nbsp;essays are generally limited to about 3/4 of a page.&nbsp;Avoid complicated answers write in a s simple language as possible.&nbsp; <p>Writing a KSA&nbsp;narrative statement can seem formidable and it really is.&nbsp; Bur as long as you take your time and follow these steps, you should have no trouble producing a reputable KSA. <p>&nbsp; <p>&nbsp; <p>Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/KSA,KSA's,writing ksa's,ksa writing, ksa writing tips,writing tips for KSA's, ksaos,writing ksaos,ksao writing tips,ksao writing advice,ksao writing help,sa writing advice,ksa writing help,wriiting advice for ksa writing,federal ksa,federa" rel="tag">KSA,KSA's,writing ksa's,ksa writing, ksa writing tips,writing tips for KSA's, ksaos,writing ksaos,ksao writing tips,ksao writing advice,ksao writing help,sa writing advice,ksa writing help,wriiting advice for ksa writing,federal ksa,federa</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/ksa writing,fedeeral ksa writing tips federal ksa writing advice,fedeal resume ksa" rel="tag">ksa writing,fedeeral ksa writing tips federal ksa writing advice,fedeal resume ksa</a></p>http://www.resume.info/newsletter/post/How-to-Write-an-Effective-KSA-Statement.aspx

For example, if your resume is self-centered and focused around what YOU want, you might as well not even bother applying. However, if you take the time to find out what the employer is looking for, and use resume writing to show what YOU can do for THEM, you will stand a much better chance of getting the job of your dreams. <p>When you begin the resume writing process, you need to ensure you're offering a specific resume for each position you seek. The days when you could type one resume and mass send it to ten different job openings are long gone. The employment market is so much more competitive in today's society that you need to appeal to each job separately, and ensure that <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">your resume</a> stands out above the rest. To do this, you need to focus on keywords in your resume writing. <p>What keywords are we referring to? When you read a job announcement, you need to focus your reply on words in the listing that stand out. To better explain this, here is a sample job listing to demonstrate where you should place your focus. <p><i>Executive Management Team Member</i> <p><i>[Company] is looking for an addition to our team. The qualified candidate will possess the following skills:</i> <ul> <li> <p><i>Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree, and/or Doctoral Degree in relevant field of study</i></p> <li> <p><i>Minimum two years of experience in executive management position</i></p> <li> <p><i>Ability to set and meet deadlines, maintain employee relationships, manage time and tasks efficiently</i></p> <li> <p><i>Computer data entry and spreadsheet experience, as well as networking and Intranet abilities</i></p></li></ul> <p><i>The right candidate will be detail-oriented and have demonstrable experience in all areas. To apply, send resume and cover letter, along with salary requirements to:</i> <p><i>Joe Davis</i> <p><i>123 5th Ave.</i> <p><i>New York, NY 10001</i> <p><i>EOE/M/F/D/V</i> <p>Now we'll focus on pulling the keywords and phrases out of this announcement so that you can clearly see what to provide in your resume writing. Make sure that you include the following words from the listing in your <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">resume writing</a>: deadline-oriented, executive management experience, time and task management skills, computer abilities, spreadsheet experience, and detail-oriented, networking experience. <p>These words are all important in their own respects, due to their placement in the listing. Therefore, when you start resume writing, you need to ensure that you place these exact words and phrases in your resume. This will do two things: it will catch the attention of the hiring manager, and it will show them that you pay attention to detail. Thus, your resume will be more likely to stand out, and will give you a better shot at getting hired. <p>No matter how qualified you may be, you will never find the job of your dreams without taking resume writing seriously. Next time you think about printing off ten copies of your resume and sending it out to various jobs, think again. You need to appeal to each employer individually, which means providing <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">personalized resumes</a> for each job listing. Just remember that job you want is achievable, as long as you ensure your resume writing is polished and professional. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writing,resume,resumes,resume writer, professional resume writer,professional resume writing,resume tips, resume advice, writing resumes, writing a resume, resume help, job,jobs,employment,resume samples , sample resumes, resume templates, resume template," rel="tag">resume writing,resume,resumes,resume writer, professional resume writer,professional resume writing,resume tips, resume advice, writing resumes, writing a resume, resume help, job,jobs,employment,resume samples , sample resumes, resume templates, resume template,</a></p>http://www.resume.info/newsletter/post/The-Importance-of-Keywords-in-Resume-Writing.aspx

Some people don't like moustaches on men or red hair on women. Some don't like people that are overweight (subjective) or people that are too thin. Before you inadvertantly alienate someone just lose the picture.&nbsp;A <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">well written resume</a> will do away with silly opinions.&nbsp;&nbsp; <p><strong>Personal Information:</strong> Aside from your name and contact information, your personal life is well personal not professional.&nbsp;Unless your marital status or personal health directly reflects the job you seek, it’s not significant and needs to be left off of <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">your resume</a>. Personal information is just one more way to open the door to&nbsp; decision based on weid opinions!&nbsp; <p><strong>Graphics/Cute Gimmicks:</strong> Cute is cute and maybe even fun but one thing it isn't is professional or business level communication. send the cute little graphics to your friends in yourIM's and your emails but resist the temtation to place them on your resume! <p><strong>Reasons for Leaving Jobs:</strong> Almost every job application has this question on it, and most employers will ask you about this. However, you need to leave it off <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">your resume</a> and let the employer ask about it in the interview, where you can fully explain yourself. Listing reasons for leaving jobs is only another setup for failure in most cases. <p><strong>Hobbies and Interests:</strong> Your boss won’t care if you’re an avid RV enthusiast or if you collect paper clips!&nbsp;Putting&nbsp;hobbies&nbsp;on a resume is simply a waste of space.&nbsp;Most of the time you can answer these questions <em><strong>(if they come up)</strong></em> in the interview. <p><strong>Salary History or Expectations:</strong> <em><u>This is a trap</u></em> !&nbsp;By listing your history, you’re exposing yourself in the worst way. You’re either going to appear to be too expensive if your salary history is high, or get underpaid because of your low salary history. Even if the announcement asks for it, let the employer know in your cover letter that you will discuss this at the interview. <p><strong>“References Available upon Request”:</strong> Unless an employer asks for references, they don’t want them right away. So use the space on your <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">Resume</a> for more Important things like "selling yourself" <p>&nbsp; <p>&nbsp; <p>resume,resumes,resume writing, writing resumes, writing professional resumes,professional resume writing,professional resume,professional resumes,resume tips, resume samples,resume advice, sample resumes, sample resume, job,jobs,employment,&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>http://www.resume.info/newsletter/post/7-Resume-Killers.aspx

Your Resume must contain work experience&nbsp;that &nbsp;relates to the position youa re seeking.&nbsp;&nbsp; <p>Make certain that you understand fully&nbsp;the qualifications the employer is looking for.

The first step to success in your new career will be having an efficient, functional resume that proves that you are the best person for the job you seek. <p>Although you can write a resume on your own, it is often beneficial to hire resume writers from <em><a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">professional resume services</a></em> to do the resume for you. These resume writers will have valuable experience and know-how in the field of resume writing that will give you better odds of getting the job that you want. Here are some key elements to look for when hiring resume writers: <ol> <li> <p><b>Certification:</b> There are two different types of certification for resume writers: NCRW (Nationally Certified Resume Writer) and CPRW (Certified Professional Resume Writer). One is not better than the other, but to get the most out of resume writers, it is imperative to ensure that they have one of these two certifications.</p> <li> <p><b>Experience:</b> While you might save money by hiring someone who is new to the field of <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">resume writers</a>, the quality you get back may not be top-notch. If you find resume writers independently, you can gauge this for yourself; however, hiring from a resume service may not offer you the option of an experienced resume writer versus a fresh hire. Fortunately, resume writers can’t get hired unless they have basic aptitude for successful resume writing, so working through a professional agency shouldn’t be an issue.</p> <li> <p><b>Guarantees:</b> All resume writers should guarantee your happiness with the outcome of the final product, and offer free editing and revisions if you aren’t satisfied. After all, why would you trust someone who doesn’t believe in their own work? You wouldn’t buy a $1500 computer from a store that tells you that it’s not able to be returned or exchanged if it doesn’t work, so why pay for resume services that won’t meet your needs?</p> <li> <p><b>Accountability and Reputation:</b> <em><u>All resume writers should be willing to be accountable for your personal information and the delivery of your finished resume.</u></em> That is, if they tell you you’ll have it in a week you should have it within that time, without excuses. If you are jerked around or treated badly by resume writers, you might want to ask for a refund and find a more reputable company. This can be verified simply by checking into the resume writers’ websites or the website of a professional service that you want to use. Most offer a customer service section where you can read previous customers’ comments and opinions on the services of the resume writers you’re considering. </p></li></ol> <p>Having <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">your resume professionally written</a> by <em><u>certified resume writers</u></em> will only help you in your quest for a new career. However, you do need to make sure that you keep these things in mind when looking for resume writers, so that you don’t get taken advantage of. You could end up paying for services that you don’t get, or that don’t meet your needs, if you don’t take a little time to research your options before hiring resume writers. <p>&nbsp; <p>&nbsp; <p>&nbsp; <p>Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume,resumes,resume writing,resume writers,professional resume wriitng,resume writing service," rel="tag">resume,resumes,resume writing,resume writers,professional resume wriitng,resume writing service,</a></p>http://www.resume.info/newsletter/post/Resume-Writers,-What-to-Look-for-in-a-Resume-Writing-Service.aspx

Don’t give details on your high school job at McDonald’s unless it is relevant. Most resumes list only two or three&nbsp;previous jobs,&nbsp;make sure the ones you list are pertinent to the position you are applying for</p> <li> <p>Confidence is essential when you are writing resumes. You need to be confident in your writing and sell yourself to your prospective employer. If your resume makes you seem weak&nbsp;or uncertain, no employer is going to hire you.&nbsp; Think of your resume as you personal&nbsp;advertisement.&nbsp;</p> <li> <p>Be sure you’re writing resumes that are styled for the type of job you want. For example, don’t use an entry-level resume if you are applying for an executive job, and vice versa. </p></li></ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume" rel="tag">resume</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resumes" rel="tag">resumes</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writer" rel="tag">resume writer</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writers" rel="tag">resume writers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writing" rel="tag">resume writing</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/professional resume writing" rel="tag">professional resume writing</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume sample" rel="tag">resume sample</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume tips" rel="tag">resume tips</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/free resume writing" rel="tag">free resume writing</a></p>http://www.resume.info/newsletter/post/Resume-Writing-Essentials.aspx

Achieving the perfect representation of your education and career history may take many hours of work and &nbsp;plenty of trips to&nbsp;your dictionary and thesaurus...several drafts...spell-checks...and don't forget...plenty of proofreading.&nbsp; <p>Writing a resume isn’t like other types of writing...it's specialized.&nbsp;Even&nbsp;professional writers in other fields find <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">Resume writing</a>,&nbsp;summarizing their skills and experience on paper can be overwhelming. An attorney may be skilled in writing a legal brief.&nbsp;An executive assistant or manager may write powerful business reports...but will it be enough to tempt an interviewer to call? </p> <p>&nbsp;Even a human resources director, who spends much of her life sifting through applicants’ resumes, can find writing their own resume to be intimidating. <p>When time is an issue here is what we sugest: <p>1. <strong>Acknowledge that there are only so many hours in a day.</strong> If keeping your current employer happy with your performance is a priority, <em>take care of what you do best</em> while <strong>allowing a professional resume writer to take care of</strong> <strong>what he or she does best – crafting an <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">executive resume that’s guaranteed to land you the interview</a>. </strong> <p>2.<strong>Gather all of the information needed to prepare your executive resume</strong>, such as the version of your resume that you used to land your current job. Jot down your current duties. As a senior-level professional, you may be surprised by the amount of time this, alone, can take. <p>3. <em><u>Place your trust in the skill of a professional resume writer</u></em>. Just as you trust your mechanic with your car or your physician with your health, you should allow a professional to develop your executive resume. <strong>Take advantage of your writer’s skill and experience as she sells your skills and experience on paper.</strong> <p>When time is of the esence, <strong>Hire</strong>&nbsp;a <a href="http://www.resume.info/professional-resume-writing.aspx">professional resume writer</a>&nbsp; and success will be yours.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/executive resume writing" rel="tag">executive resume writing</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/eexecutive resume" rel="tag">eexecutive resume</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/senior execuitve resume" rel="tag">senior execuitve resume</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writing" rel="tag">resume writing</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/professional resume writing" rel="tag">professional resume writing</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/executive resume writer" rel="tag">executive resume writer</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/executive resume writing service" rel="tag">executive resume writing service</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/writing executive resumes" rel="tag">writing executive resumes</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writer" rel="tag">resume writer</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/resume writing service" rel="tag">resume writing service</a></p>http://www.resume.info/newsletter/post/Executive-Resume-Writing-Requires-Time-and-Skill.aspx

Below are some tried and true actions you can take to strengthen your position regardless what turn the economy or employment scene may take.<br></p> <p>1. Work Harder / Be More Productive.<br>If and when the economy gets to the point that lay-offs or downsizing occurs. You are least likely to be handed a pink slip if you are seen to be an employee of value and worth. As a highly productive employee you are helping to keep the company afloat in hard times. Anyone but a very biased manager or company owner recognizes that a mile away. <br></p> <p>2. Contribute Solutions Don't Create Problems <br>Things getting hard to manage because of lay-offs? Is the workload getting heavier on those that are still on board?&nbsp; Well look at the bright side... you are still employed. Come up with a bright idea or two to make the whole process run smoother. Be creative...take a leadership role...One who is part of the solution is harder to let go than one who is part of the problem.<br></p> <p>3. Avoid the complainers and the self appointed victims in the workplace. Look frankly they may have been your friends when things were good but these people are the ones that do not rise to the occasion they are the ones that just give up. They say they understand but <em>all they DO</em> is complain and point out how hard it is and how bad they have it now. Avoid them! Their negativity is contagious and like a disease it spreads, makes a company ill and can be fatal to your employment! <br></p> <p>4. Get your <a href="http://www.resume.info/">Resume</a> in tip-top shape ready to use at a moments notice.<br>Even when you do all you can sometimes things can go bad. But you should be expecting that...right? It's the nay sayers I mentioned above that "pretend" they had no warning. So...be ready...take action now if you see the writing on the wall. It's a lot better than not being ready!
